The Fifth Elephant 2023 Winter

Overview

In the era of data-driven healthcare, the quality and actionability of healthcare reports are critical. With improved access to diagnostics, radiology plays a pivotal role in adminstering care.

Problem

For patients who’ve had a radiology scan for their condition, the radiology reports serve as the basis for treatment plans, and hence their clarity, accuracy, and detail are of utmost importance. However, the reports can often be riddled with jargon, ambiguities, or insufficient detail, leading to potential misunderstandings or misdiagnoses.

Solution

Integrating LLMs into the radiology workflow addresses these issues, aiding radiologists in crafting more precise, understandable, and actionable reports. This ultimately contributes to better patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare systems.

This talk will elucidate the transformative role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in improving the quality and actionability of radiology reports. The talk is based on the speakers’ work at their organization, 5C Network - India’s largest AI-driven Clinical Delivery Network.

We’ll explore real-world case studies, examine the technical architecture, and discuss the benefits and challenges that come with the integration of LLMs in radiology workflows.

Agenda

• Introduction
  • The crucial role of radiology reports in healthcare
  • Challenges in traditional radiology reporting
• Why Large Language Models?
  • Case for LLMs in radiology
• Technical Architecture
  • End-to-end workflow of integrating LLMs in radiology
  • API interfaces, data preprocessing
  • model fine-tuning
  • self-hosting
• Real-life success stories/case studies
• Metrics to evaluate and improve report quality and actionability
• data privacy
• ROI, scalability (depending on time)

By the end of the presentation, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the role of LLMs in enhancing radiology reports. They will be equipped with actionable insights and best practices for implementing these models in their own systems.
